👆Start at the top! Teaching your child where to start a letter is foundational for developing essential writing skills. Understanding to start at the top using a song like “Where Do You Start Your Letters” by Learning Without Tears can provide tremendous benefits in and out of school. Here are 5 ways teaching your child print directionality can create long lasting impact in literacy skills:

1. 📚 It builds reading skills

Teaching print directionality lays the groundwork for proficient reading. By familiarizing kids with the top to bottom and left-to-right progression of text, kids learn fundamental principles used in decoding written language. This skill becomes super important as kids move through more complex reading levels.

1. ✍🏻It enhances writing abilities.

Teaching children how to form letters and words in the correct direction reinforces correct handwriting techniques. This foundation sets the stage for legible penmanship and efficient writing skills.

1. 🧐 It encourages focus and attention.

Following a consistent left-to-right, top to bottom pattern helps children concentrate on individual letters and words. This attention to detail paves the way for comprehension and critical thinking while reading.

1. 👀It supports visual tracking.

Print directionality plays a significant role in visual tracking. As children progress from picture books to text-heavy materials, their eyes need to follow a structured pattern. Teaching them how to track words and sentences in the correct order enhances their visual tracking abilities, ultimately aiding in fluent reading.

1. 💪🏾 It fosters independence.

Understanding print directionality empowers children to read and write independently. Once they understand this, they can embark on the journey of discovering books, exploring literature, and expressing their thoughts through written words. This independence not only contributes to academic success but also nurtures a lifelong love for reading and writing!
